Chapter 308
Yvette hadn’t expected Xavier to bu
everything so soon and even prepared breakfast. She took a closer look at the food. There was oatmeal, bread, and milk. There were also fruits, and the table was basically full.
When Xavier heard her footsteps, he looked toward her. “I didn’t know what you liked, so I decided to buy a little bit of everything. Also, here are the receipts.”
She looked at the receipts he gave her and was surprised that he had actually listened to her. “Aren’t you blind? How did you buy these?”
Xavier placed a glass of milk in front of her and said, “I can key in text on my phone using voice input.” Yvette didn’t suspect him and drank some milk. It was still warm. Then, she took a few bites of bread and purposely made things difficult for him. “I’m not used to having delivered breakfast.”
When he heard that, he was stunned. “But I don’t know how to cook.”
He had tried making his own breakfast that morning, but he hadn’t known where to start at all
When Mark had given him all the documents from work after he had lost his memories, he had been able to go through them in no time. However, when it came to cooking, he really couldn’t do it at all.
“Then, why did you know how to cook in the past?” Yvette asked. She still remembered the photo Daphne had sent her in the past. Back then, Daphne had been with Xavier, and he had known how to cook some delicacies.
Xavier was stunned. “I guess I’ve forgotten how to cook.”
Yvette drank some milk again and mumbled, “I didn’t know how to cook in the past either. You were the one who said outside food wasn’t hygienic.”
“I can learn how to cook,” he immediately said.
“Alright. In that case, learn well.”
She didn’t want to waste the food, so she finished everything on the table. Before she left, she couldn’t help but give him a reminder. “Don’t burn yourself when you’re cooking.”
She was only casually saying it. But when Xavier heard her, he was extremely happy. After learning braille and going through some old documents, he started learning how to cook.
When Viola and Yvette heard him following a cooking guide on his phone, they were shocked.
Meanwhile, Jeremiah had been staying in Xavier’s room after he had returned to Lane Mansion.
Since Shannon had done a great job keeping Xavier’s accident a secret, there weren’t a lot of people who were certain that he was blind.
That was why people like Clifford and Zayden didn’t know that the man posing as the heir of the Lane family at that moment wasn’t the real Xavier, despite being aware of Jeremiah’s existence. Besides that, Jeremiah had always been seriously ill since he had been a young boy, Back then, he hadn’t been able to leave the house at all.

His condition had worsened before he had become an adult, and he had been sent abroad to receive treatment. He had been bedridden, so no one had expected him to recover and return. Shannon had been updating him about what had happened around Xavier recently. Jeremiah sat on a chair and listened to her silently. He looked as dashing as Xavier, but his gaze was way more gentle. “Mom, are you expecting me to replace him forever?” he suddenly asked as she was talking excitedly.
Shannon was stunned. Although she looked calm, she was clenching her fists tightly. “Jerry, the doctor said Xavier is blind, and he’ll never recover from it. Even if he can regain his memory, Lane Group would never let a blind man be the CEO.”
What she was trying to say was obvious. When Jeremiah heard that, he didn’t ask anything else. Instead, he stood up and prepared to leave. “Where are you going?” She was worried that people might realize that something was different about him if he went out now.
“Don’t worry. I’m not going anywhere. I just want to get some fresh air.” He looked at the snow outside. I’ve suffered a lot in the past few years.” He wanted to go wherever he wanted. Then, he saw two children by chance.
